[PlantEditor] Loading mesh code

[tpaviot]

@mlimper I try to run your code for loading x3d meshes but I dont' know how to proceed. Is there a shortcut menu for it?

Max is currently at Pacific Graphics 2013, but have you tried 'Fetch...' from the menu?

[mlimper]

Dear thomas,
the test indeed runs after pressing "Fetch" in the plant editor.
Regards,
Max

There's an issue clicking fetch. `[12:25:33,021] TypeError: storageManager.loadScene is not a function @ http://192.168.43.69:8080/plant_editor:1``

[tpaviot]

Ok, I got it, it is because I load the StorageManager.js file for the component_editor.

Actually both component_editor and plant_editor are served by only one web server, files with the same name are perhaps not the best way to proceed. Would it be possible to refactor the folders/file names so that everything is consitent, without any redundancy in the different files. Also, move main.js to main_component_editor.js and main_plant_editor.js.

[mlimper]

Yes, this is indeed a problem. I'm aware of that, I think I already mentioned it in a mail before.

I guess there is still some refactoring to be done on our side, you're totally right. Nevertheless, it would also be helpful if the server would allow us to use js files with identical file names in different paths.

[mlimper]

Just a quick question, which is the default "root" folder of the 3D server?

[tpaviot]

root folder: ./server-3d. Click "run_3d_server.bat"

Then:
/test
Be sure everything is ok.

then
/component_editor?idFonct=...
or
/plant_editor

[mlimper]

The tests work fine.

Actually I meant the root folder which the 3D server is using for serving the webpages.
If I try with XAMPP, for example, and I choose the DocumentRoot to be "editor", everything works fine, there is no ambiguity among the js files' path names. Could you configure the server to behave like that?

[tpaviot]

You can do it on your own. In src/3d_server.py, just modify the line 325:
'tools.staticdir.dir': COMPONENT_DIR,

to
'tools.staticdir.dir': os.path.join(apps_modeling_path,'editor')

[mlimper]

I'm sorry, it doesn't help. Now, both of them are not working :-P
Does the server need to know which directoy is which?

The XAMPP server, for example, works perfectly if I just make "editor" the DocumentRoot.

[mlimper]

Basically, the behaviour should just be that all files are getting served relative to the folder of the corresponding index.html
